June 21 trip winding down

I wanted to give everyone a short update on the final day at camp as well as the first day of sightseeing.

The team said their "good-byes" and "see you later's" to the children this morning, and while somewhat sad the team was glad to see the relationships they had made with these precious children. The hugs, tears, and smiles were a great way to send the team onto the road and onto their way back home.

After a 3 hour drive to Brasov the team took a Sky Tram to the top of the old fortress in Brasov. The view was beautiful and breathtaking. After a crammped ride down the hill (20+ people in a small tram car) the team walked down to the city and visited the Black Church. This church was built before the Reformation by about 100 years and was taken over by Lutherans in 1545. Since many of the team are members of the Lutheran denomination is was pretty cool to see one of the first Protestant churches in the world. The team finished the day by doing a little shopping a enjoying a great meal in the beauty of an open air restaurant in the middle of the old part of the city.

Tomorrow will include 2 tourrs of some old castles and the final leg of our journey into Bucharest. Thanks for reading the updates on the mission trips adventures in Romania.
